Insurance issues...

[Chilli]

Let's assume you knew this guy. He'd left the country and in doing so left his car at his parents house along with all of the documentation, insurance, service book, V5...everything in fact. Fast forward 8 months and the tax is due, however his parents can't find the folder of paperwork regarding the car, so they can't tax it. Let's also assume this guy can't remember who he's insured with.......

How do you find this stuff out??!




ps - Getting the tax on-line is a no-go... Long story.

Hello mate.
There has been, which was then forwarded on by the parents to this chap as this chap doesn't want his parents opening up all of his post. This chap then ordered the new tax, only for the parents to send it on again.
Unfortuantely, this chap appears to live in the 3rd world, and Mr postie simply burns all post, so it's apointless exercise to try it again.

Surely officer could suspect vehicle is not insured, thus check MID?

Might be worth asking R1 Loon he works in insurance.

OP said he "can't remember who it's insured with", which implies it is insured. If it's not insured then checking the MID is pointless.

ETA: Might be worth checking http://www.askMID.com/. They have a paid feature which may give more details, i.e. the insurance company.
